FBI asks for help locating suspected bank robber

The FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force seeks the public’s assistance identifying an unknown serial bank robber who allegedly robbed two banks in Greater Boston between July 28 and Aug. 11.

From the FBI press release:

The robber is a black male, medium athletic build, approximately 25-30 years old, 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall, is clean shaven and may have a tattoo on the right side of his neck. While a weapon has not been displayed during any of the robberies, the suspect has gestured to his waist, as if reaching for a weapon. He is considered armed and dangerous.

On Monday, July 28, at approximately 10:20 a.m., the robber entered Century Bank located at 703 Granite St. in Braintree. The robber wore a long sleeve button-up dress shirt, yellow tie, sunglasses, and a Red Sox baseball hat. He produced a note to the teller demanding money, once the money was received; he fled the bank in an unknown direction.

On Monday, Aug. 11, at approximately 1 p.m., the robber wearing a blue and white striped dress shirt entered Citizens Bank located at 420 Granite Ave. in Milton. He approached a teller and again presented a note demanding money - at this time he gestured to his waist, as if to reach for a weapon. With money in hand, the robber exited the bank and entered a red SUV, possibly a Ford Edge, and was last seen driving onto Interstate 93 North.

The robberies are being investigated by the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force to include Massachusetts State Police, as well as Braintree and Milton Police Departments.
